A MAN attempted a smash-and-grab raid at a jewellers in Nepean Hwy, Chelsea, Saturday afternoon (22 October).
Witnesses said a red Toyota, later found to be registered to a Carrum address, pulled up outside the jewellers about 1pm. A man got out of the passenger side and attempted to smash the front plate glass window with a sledgehammer. When that didn’t work he got back into the car which drove north on Nepean Hwy.
CCTV captured the incident. The two men described as Caucasian, aged 25-35, were seen loitering near the jewellers earlier in the day.
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
